A Maine State Police Trooper is a hero after they stopped a wrong way driver on I-95 in Bangor.

On Saturday Night a Maine Game Walden spotted a truck weaving in and out of traffic, tried to make a traffic stop but the truck kept going and decide during the chase to go into a restricted emergency vehicle crossover.
